YOUR SAY: How would you help employees if you had to cut hours?

Toyota Australia has told some of its Australian workers it can only offer them half their usual hours, thanks to supply chain disruptions caused by natural disasters in Japan. Workers will be paid 75 per cent of their salaries. Is this fair?

Workers are understandably upset - a 25 per cent pay cut is never welcome - and unions say the arrangements aren't fair because the new start time of 11:00AM means affected workers will struggle to get part-time jobs.
